# TSA Waives PreCheck Fees for Disabled Veterans

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has implemented the Veterans Expedited TSA Screening (VETS) Safe Travel Act, which waives TSA PreCheck enrollment and renewal fees for veterans with qualifying service-connected disabilities. This includes veterans enrolled in Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare who have permanent blindness or require VA-issued wheelchairs or prosthetic limbs. Enrollment and renewal services are facilitated through IDEMIA, the authorized provider managing identity verification and fee waivers under this program. This development creates procurement opportunities for contractors specializing in TSA PreCheck enrollment services, identity verification technologies, and veteran-focused travel facilitation.

- **Why this matters:** TSA's fee waiver program expands eligibility for expedited screening, increasing demand for enrollment and identity verification services tailored to disabled veterans.
- Contractors providing enrollment processing and secure identity verification can leverage this program to support TSA and VA initiatives.
- Procurement professionals should consider the implications for contract scopes involving veteran services, accessibility accommodations, and secure traveler programs.
- Organizations supporting veteran travel benefits may find opportunities to collaborate with IDEMIA or TSA on outreach and enrollment facilitation.
